You are one precarious fellow.. you talk like your literally think you're the center of the conversation, you ain't, the Magnova scope is.. you just arrived.
What people wanna bring up, depending on what they value.. you don't decide.
Wrong, provably.
Let me help you out with a
relevant quote:
I personally - and I accept and respect if your view is very different - think it's (... whatever)
Actually, it rather seems that you, and quite a few of your "thankers", simply don't like my way of thinking and/or talking, and/or "disturbing" the way of discussing you're used to and like.
But whatever, as you, for an exception,
correctly stated, this thread is not about me but rather about the Magnova - which unlike your post, actually was the topic of my post.
So, no offense taken from an empty shell, have a nice week
Earth to Magnova fans
If there are already "fans", then it happened pretty quickly.
And "Made in Germany" is a cost factor that you have to take into account if you want to get to the bottom of the price instead of dismissing it as "far too expensive".
It's quite possible that nobody will want to pay for it later and you'll have to switch to cheaper production.
Only time will tell.
I also can't imagine that it was a bunch of fools who developed the Scope, in other words, they must have had something in mind when doing it this way and not otherwise.
So there will also be a reason why the sample rate is not soaring to breathtaking heights, but is rather at the bottom with (usually) still sufficient reserve for the maximum bandwidth.
Let's just wait until more information is available instead of talking about "fans" and far too expensive right now.
Sounds quite reasonable. I largely agree.
And yes, I admit it, my "earth to Magnova fans" sentence was but a, easily mistaken it seems, attempt to lead/invite back to reality, feet on the ground.
As user Andre77 already told us the ADC it's a TI ADC12QJ1600.
In the datasheet I've found :
...
SNR (dB) : 57.4 (100MHz), ENOB (bit): 9.1 (100MHz)
A miracle, look mom, a miracle! (probably another failing attempt of me trying to put it in a funny way)
So ADC can do 4 x 1.6GSPS. 1GSPS can be a power dissipation limitation or a limited processing power of FPGA (Ultrascale+ MPSoC from Xilinx)
... or, my benevolent positive guess, Batronix engineers wanting to stay reasonably honest and not go below 8.5 bits ENOB ...
All in all, I like what the Magnova promise us. I like the display, the passive heat dissipation, the included FFT implementation and Bode option.
For me it's an optimal mix between SDS3000X HD and Misg MHO3.
Let't hope it's not a vaporware.
So, there seem to be some potential customers for Batronix (which pleases me).
"vaporware" seems to be too harsh a word to use, I don't think that Batronix is basically spreading lies or making empty wet-dream promises. My guess is that they still have a bit ironing to do to make the bride as beautiful as possible. Plus, I guess, they are still doing quite some testing, gathering production or at least early pre-production unit data and nailing down final public specs, etc, well, the usual.
vaporware or similar, I'm willing to bet, is
not to be expected from Batronix.
